    Eco challenges are the same levels that you already played through, but you have a lower used-bamboo requirement. To finish the levels using less bamboo takes a little more thought, but isn't too hard. Here's how I did it.

    I've taken pictures of all of my winning level configurations, but that may not directly equate to beating the levels for you. I found that the way things fall, the monkey's effect on the sticks, and the final outcome of the level are non-deterministic. I would occasionally beat a level without changing anything - just restarting the action seemed to make it work. So, take the pictures as a starting point,a nd adjust them as needed to get to the winning combo.

    For the pictures, they were taken after I beat the Eco challenge for each level, so they will show you how I got this achievement. Also, some levels needed two pictures, so you will see some a/b pictures. a is generally the top of the level, and b is the bottom.

    Mad HecticLooks like a lot of info but nothing telling me what this achievement is. Just how to get it.

    So is it minimal bamboo used?

    SwamiMacGyverOops. Sorry. Yes. The Eco Challenges are the same levels with a lower used-bamboo requirement. I'll add that to the solution.

    FFugueDo we need to finish the standard game before starting these? Because I've tried doing the first level with only two bamboo ant it doesn't tell me anything special... Is there supposed to be any indications that I just did a eco saving?

    SwamiMacGyverSorry... It's been a while since I played, so someone might need to verify this, but I believe you can do this as you progress through the levels. If I'm wrong, let me know :-)

    StillingsThe Eco Challenges do not unlock until you finish all the islands. However, any levels you completed on your first playthrough that meet the Eco bamboo limits will automatically be credited with having been passed so you don't have to play them again.

    BaronVonBrannanJust a quick query. I take it you still have to 'Perfect' the levels but with minimal bamboo? Or can you just get all 5 monkeys home free without caring bout the bananas?

    Cheers.
